Yes, but it's the government who are ultimately responsible for regulating banks and the finance industry. It's clear Blue Labour are more interested in sucking up to capitalists that giving us suckers the change we voted for.

I think you've rather missed the point here.

So that's a racist South African daring to lecture Britain on how to run our country?

She doesn't have the power, and wouldn't because she's a Starmer sycophant. The chair of the board could, but of course he was forced to resign.

I've generally been against having a written constitution because Britain's flexible constitution allows evolution and change, unlike other countries which need revolutions and upheaval to make change. But I had thought trial by jury is sacrosanct. Not under Starmer's Labour, it seems.

Surely that's blackmail.

Morgan Fucking McSweeney. But it's not him who's ultimately to blame, it's Starmer and Reeves for having no emotional intelligence and being absolutely shit at politics.

I agree holding that pre budget statement was foolish and unnecessary, but the real issue here is that Labour Comms is an absolute shit show. It's not that Reeves lied. This country *is* facing economic challenges.

But that's what chancellors always do: scare the public with speculation about tax rises, to make the public feel relieved when it's actually not that bad. This is standard politicking. Why did the media let the Tories get away with it for 14 years, but attack Labour for doing the same?

And that Scottish government has delivered male life expectancy of 76.5 in Scotland, vs 78.8 in England and Wales.

And there's not even any serious leadership to give the message. American democracy is a joke.
